What's New at
Concord Carpenter?
This
past weekend, the ACC Crew, got together with Todd Fratzel and ToolBoxBuzz and performed a Head-2-Head [H2H] test on SDS Max Rotary Hammers.
We also took a hard look at related dust extractors and accessories.
Milwaukee SDS Max bits made Swiss cheese of these re-bar embedded Bridge Decks
Thanks to the folks at Milwaukee for supplying all of the drill bits and chipping accessories for this test.
A lot of time and effort go into these tests, from analyzing the results and test data, to editing the photos and video footage. Watch for the results of both these tests in two weeks.
Increasing Workshop Storage
This weekend I spent some time working on adding plywood to my shop walls. You can never have enough storage in a workshop and adding plywood to the walls, allows me to hang cabinets, pipe clamps and other storage items.
Update On Build America
Last week we met with our "Build America Ambassador," Nick Jullian.
As I've mentioned before, once we train the BAM team on tool safety and usage, we will be following the BAM project from afar. Nick is going to be our point of contact and will be sending back updates, pictures and video for us to share with you.
Nick has an interesting story to tell, read Nicks first post here:
Painter's Tip
How many times have you wanted touch up wall paint, repaint a wall the same color or simply tell a friend what paint color you used?
Some organized people write this stuff down or keep a computer file for this type of stuff, others go searching through old paint cans in the basement.
Here's a fool proof way to always have the correct information when needed:
Simply write the paint colors and manufacturer on the back of a light switch plate in that room!
36-Volt Circular Saw Head-2-Head Test
With the functionality, convenience, and
independence of a cordless 18 Volt saw we wanted to explore what a
higher voltage model could bring to the table.
Given our experience with
the 18 Volt models we knew we could give the 18+ voltage saws a
thorough job-site examination.
Guess who came out on top?
